Sebrioth Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 What do you think, should Space Missions be free-to-fly missions? (Think about it, do you want to be in charge or let someone else be pulling the strings.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sejiz Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) In my opinion they shouldn't, it would be quite disorienting at times with all the objectives. What I would like to see is free-fly pvp with 50 ships from both sides. Edited December 18, 2011 by Sejiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About that too pvp definately free to fly iff comes. but more opinions. area where you can fly freely and do the objectives in given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annokou Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'd like to see free roaming space.. Travelling from one place to another manually instead of automatically (save for the hyperspace jump sort of stuff- that's sorta automatic travel...) I'd like to see that as well as space stations you can dock and enter for missions, trading, all that jazz... Then again, my ideas are usually unrefined and make little sense...

AeonWeapon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) I think we should have free flying between planets when we travel, with random encounters with NPC ships along the way (of the enemy faction, and pirates and stuff), just like fighting mobs when you're running on the ground maps. Maybe add in some asteroids to mine or something, secret planets to discover maybe. Maybe like random giant space creatures like that big worm that almost ate the millenium falcon on an asteroid.

Ghobe Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I would love it, however it's a hell of an undertaking. Anything involving the z axis tends to be difficult to develop and interact with and get it to feel "right". I'm not against it, but like I said, a LOT of work.

Gaidax Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Nah... It's ok as it is... I'd rather have it stay as an amusing minigame, not another source of grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kornsaq Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 It doesnt bother me the way it is right now, but I have to agree that some free flying pvp would be pretty awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbrass Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Personally i'd rather keep the flying the way it is in TOR, and kick Lucasarts up the backside and get them to resurrect the X-wing series of games for my Star Wars Space Shooty needs.

Aurlon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Nah... It's ok as it is... I'd rather have it stay as an amusing minigame, not another source of grind. ^ This. I would like to see them expand your ship though. Let other people on, let us add vendors and customize it (layout, extra services etc). Why not let players design ships and submit them (like the Steam Workshop) to be implemented into the game? It could work exactly like a housing system with your house being your ship. I have big hopes for the future of the ship system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conundrum-NSA Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Having got my ship today, I feel a little better about the on rails aspect of space combat. I'm not a fan of twitch games, and free flying would by definition be much more twitch based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeonWeapon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Star Wars: Rebellion, great game, those were the days... We need fleet battles like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Pi_ Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 For my money, you can't beat the space combat in Battlefront II. You could free fly, AND land in a hanger bay to fight on foot. Are you kidding me, that was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voqar Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 No. Star Wars is about people. MMORPGs like TOR are about characters, not space ships. Space combtat is a good mini game...and it ends there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesperascit Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I like it the way it is, with the mini-game system its exactly the type of battles you would see in the movies. There is action every step of the way until the quest is over. If it was free-fly there is no way it could live up to the space battles of the films.

jayderyu Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Some missions should be rail, some missions should be feeflight.PVP should be free flight. I also suspect they are working on it after reading a gamespy article where Ohlson mentions a "Secret Space Project" when asked about free flight.

Sebrioth Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 keep it on closed areas like it is now but make it free to fly its my opinion. But more opinions. would be nice to go next to our own capital ship and just amaze the size of it and so oon. thats what i would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space combtat is a good mini game...and it ends there. Saying star wars is just about people and there shouldn't be alot of space combat is ridiculous. A large portion of the star wars movies and everything star wars is star ship battles. That's like saying "No. Hockey is about ice skating. Don't use hockey sticks to play hockey." lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKer-Nal Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 No. Star Wars is about people. MMORPGs like TOR are about characters, not space ships. Space combtat is a good mini game...and it ends there. Science Fiction (and Space Operas) are about people and technology and interplanetary/interstellar travel. Note the travel part. The Battle of Yavin IV was free flight until they had to make that trench run. The Battle of Endor was about free flight until the Falcon went flying through the unfinished Death Star. If I wanted to be playing Tailgunner or Star Fox I'd be playing them. I want to fly my Fury where I want it to go, not down some guided rail that would be impossible in anything resembling actual SciFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Sheridan Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I like the current space flight. Its not the X-Wing series but its done a really good job of being visually pretty. Would be good to have some Free-Fly PVP and Co-Op missions for guilds. Supposedly guilds will get the ability to have their own guild capital ships thus missions where members 'defend' their house with Free-Flight against Sith PVP / PVE Raids would work nicely.

Formant Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Taking off from ground spaceports -> atmospheric flight -> space -> hyperspace jump is what id like to see in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
